Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 Review

The Elgato Game Capture 4K60 Pro MK.2 is an internal PCIe capture card recording full 4K60 HDR10 with matching 4K60 HDR10 passthrough, the previous-generation flagship internal card ahead of Elgato's 4K X and 4K Pro.

This was Elgato's top internal card before the 4K X and 4K Pro replaced it, and the core capture spec, full 4K60 HDR10 recording and passthrough, is genuinely still strong years later. It's a PCIe Gen 3 x4 card rather than the newer 4K X's PCIe Gen 4 requirement, which actually makes it more compatible with older motherboards. If you find one discounted and don't need the 4K X's VRR passthrough or the 4K Pro's multi-app features, this still performs the core job extremely well.

Still Competitive Core Spec

4K60 HDR10 capture and passthrough was flagship-tier when this card launched and remains genuinely solid today, the newer cards mainly add VRR passthrough and multi-app support rather than a fundamentally better capture pipeline.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Elgato 4K X already in our catalog, the 4K X adds VRR passthrough and requires a PCIe Gen 4 x4 slot, while the older MK.2 uses the more widely compatible PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface. Against the Elgato 4K Pro also in our catalog, the Pro adds 8K60 passthrough and multi-app capture the MK.2 doesn't support, features most buyers won't actually use.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Expert rating7 / 10

Still a genuinely strong 4K60 HDR10 card if found discounted, though the 4K X and 4K Pro have since taken its place for good reasons.

Best for

Budget buyers who find this discounted now that 4K X and 4K Pro have replaced it.
Desktop builders with older motherboards needing PCIe Gen 3 compatibility.
Anyone who doesn't need VRR passthrough or multi-app capture specifically.

Not for

VRR passthrough for variable refresh rate displays, get the 4K X instead.
8K passthrough or multi-app simultaneous capture, that's the 4K Pro's job.
Laptop users, this is a desktop-only internal PCIe card.
